Sunday August 24

60 and sunny at game time, it warmed up to 70 but what a beautiful mid summer day for soccer.  30 guys thought so as well, so we had two subs for each team, Steve G in the blue net and Minor in the white.  Marco, Vinny and Justin are our guests today, but I think some of these guys might have become official members.  If you didn't get the email from Rocc, registration is due by this Sunday at the latest.
Teddy left early, not sure why, Jay & Justin left about nine, so sub situation improved.

8:18 guest Vinny for blue, 1-0
8:44 Jake for white, 1-1
8:53 Jeff to Marlen with a no touch by Rocc for blue, 2-1
8:57 Rocco! 3-1

9:25 Keebs, 5-4
9:29 blue corner kick to head of Blond Dave to Eric's foot, 6-4
9:42 Vince to head of Keebs, 6-5
9:45 Mike to Mark Miller! who floats one in, 7-7
10:06 with not many left to play Mario gets one to take it for white, 7-8
Pretty good showing by the blue defense if I say so myself managing to keep the game close in spite of a white offense of Mike, Mario, Jake, Keeble and Vince.  Bobby's games have been stellar!

Next weekend is Labor Day, regular 8AM start, but games after that will be starting earlier.

Sunday August 17

Rainy and cold, 60 degrees, at game time.  Half the team is hiding under the bleachers, but we finally got going with some 31 guys on the field, Doug A in the white net, Steve-O in the blue.  A couple of guests, Vinny & Marco sat out, along with several others and we got things somewhat under control.  10 minutes out isn't too bad a rotation for subs.  Sun came out and it's a beautiful day for soccer.
Lots of goal scoring today. I forgot my score pad, but Keeble, Rocco, Mario among others had goals.

Starting Sept 7, the Sunday after Labor Day, we will start play at 7:30 AM for all of September and into October.
